Fixture List released on Tuesday

[demon_dog]

Any preference anyone with the release of the fixtures on Tuesday.

Do you fancy an easy start at home or want a top team to get the tough games out of the way 

What about Xmas and New Year?

End of season preference considering how important we all think it will be.

Personally I would rather us start with a couple of games against some of the poorer teams. Same for the end of the season.

At home either Boxing day or New Year, I don't mind either way 

[East Langton Fox]

Man City away first game. 😱
Chelsea at home second 😃

[rugbyblue]

Southampton and Ipswich first two games would be ideal.  Wipe out the majority of any deduction then start mission survival proper. 

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Preferably play some bigger teams at the start whose players are not available after an extended run at the euros 

[Tuna]

Can't believe we are going into this with no manager in place

[Chelmofox]

Chelsea home. It has to be. 

 

Potter for us, Enzo for Chelsea. KDH's first stinker for Chelsea and Gallagher plays brilliantly for us. Palmer out from injury sustained in the Euros final England win.

 

We semi lowblock them to a 1-0 shithouse win from a Fatawu screamer following Sanchez giving the ball away at the back.

I can. We are the most bonkers club in the world. 

[Stuntman_Mike]

These can't come out soon enough, I want to start planning some weekends away! 

 

On a separate note, have we ever had the fixtures out with no manager, no kit and no pre season games announced?

promoted teams usually are strongest in the first few games, as they still have their momentum. A more ideal situation is that they both have 2 hard games, get hammered twice then we face them.

Even so, I'd fancy our chances of getting something from both, over any established prem teams, especially Southampton who we do tend to score a few past in recent history.

Leeds at home first game. Oh wait 😄

[gerrytaggart]

Anyone.   Bring it on.

[Gazza M]

Chelsea at home please.

[filbertway]

Been told it will almost certainly be Everton away.  Make of that what you will

[Chrysalis]

Tough starts can set tone for the season.  Definitely want an easy start.

[jonthefox]

V Man City , Friday night and on the telly 

[Silebyfox_89]

Chelsea first match away i reckon.

 

Liverpool on boxing day or New Year's day.

 

Brighton at home to finish.

That would feel like we're still in the Championship. And imagine if we lost both games before playing any 'proper' PL teams.

We're mental enough to call Stowell back from Tel Aviv to serve as interim.

Trust me, you won't feel like we are in the championship when you feel the price rises, we are last on match of the day every week and have to put up with the absolute total c*nt (i wish i could find a stronger word but can't) that is VAR and your goal celebrations are muted after a 5 minute check 🤣

[fazzyfox]

My order is usually:-

 

First game (ideally home) / First home game

Last game “We might (will) need a result”

Boxing day (Don’t know why as there’s no transport from my tin pot town on that day but it used to be relevant. If Amazon are showing it I can at least picture myself watching it at home with a Turkey roll buffet and a chocolate Orange)

Game nearest to birthday (although this can be F.A.Cup 3rd Round)

Game on likely Record Store Day weekend as I do the overnight camp out with no sleep so would prefer it to be an away that I can’t get to rather than go 2 days without sleep to see the home game.

London away games - I can easily get to these but as I don’t have many away points I won’t necessarily be able to get a ticket but hey that’s fair enough when others travel far and wide for every away game.

Forest At home

Chelsea at home this season

Ipswich at home because my train will be full of Ipswich fans unless they travel up by tractor

Games that clash with gig tickets. 
Games that clash with Wedding dates (I’ll just leave her standing at the Altar)

 

It’s basically an order of play that will be announced, the dates and times won’t be. “The dates and times”, my real hope is for 9 or more Saturday 3 O’Clock but we won’t know that until next May.

 

You really wanted my life story when you asked that simple question didn’t you!

Stated with great confidence... either @Corky has one hell of a memory and lifespan... or great use of time researching tidbits of information... either way, I deem it true!!!

[Cincinnati Fox]

We have Liverpool away on Boxing Day.

[TonyN11]

Ipswich away to start
